Chapter 2 Advanced Routing for FortiOS 5.0 : Routing Information Protocol (RIP) : Simple RIP example : Testing network configuration
  
Testing network configuration
Once the network has been configured, you need to test that it works as expected.
The two series of tests you need to run are to test the internal networks can communicate with each other, and that the internal networks can reach the internet.
Use ping, traceroute, and other networking tools to run these tests.
If you encounter problems, for troubleshooting help consult “Troubleshooting RIP”.
